experience in the United States that many children and teenagers take them for granted. This is especially true among children from families and communities that have the resources needed to organize and sponsor sports programs and make sure that there is easy access to participation opportunities. Children in low-income families and poor communities are less likely to take organized youth sports for granted because they often lack the resources needed to pay for participation fees equipment,and transportation to practices and games and their communities do not have resources to build and maintain sports fields and facilities .
Organized youth sports first appeared during the early 20th century in the United States and other wealthy nations . They were originally developed when some educator and developmental experts realized that the behavior and character of children were strongly influenced by their social surroundings and everyday experiences.This led many people to believe that if you could organize the experiences of children in particular ways,you could influence the kinds of adults that those children would become.
This belief that the social environment inluenced a person’s overall development was very encouraging to people interested in progress and reform in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century.It caused them to think about how they might control the experiences of children to produce responsible and productive adults. They believed strongly that democracy depended on responsibility and that a growing capitalist economy depended on the productivity of workers.
